Evaluating the Effectiveness of Solutions for Developing Sport and Physical Education Resources at Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City
Keywords:

This study evaluates the effectiveness of solutions for developing sport and physical education (SPE) resources at Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City (VNU-HCM) in the context of higher education reform and the increasing demand for sustainable sport development. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including document analysis, sociological surveys, quasi-experimental observation, and statistical analysis.
The findings reveal that short-term solutions have generated significant improvements, particularly in organizational structure and governance, highlighted by the establishment of the VNU-HCM Sport Center in 2019. Positive impacts were also observed in human resource development, curriculum standardization, expansion of physical education courses, and enhancement of sport movements across the system.
However, the effectiveness remains uneven, especially in areas requiring substantial investment such as infrastructure, digital management systems, and resource socialization. The study confirms the feasibility and practical value of short-term solutions while providing a foundation for implementing long-term strategies toward 2030.
